EAH: while out for a sushi dinner:
Me: this is your third dry martini in 30 minutes
AH: I cannot eat sushi without alcohol. Sushi is raw fish . Alcohol makes sure all the viruses die
Me: viruses don't get killed with alcohol
AH: don't go all psycho scientist on me . You don't know anything.
Me: yes I do. I studied enough of microbiology
AH: good you can treat me then when I don't drink and eat sushi and get sick.
AH: puking the next morning: I told you never to take me for sushi again. It makes me sick.
Quack.
Me: why don't you give AA a try.
AH: I will watch online videos and be just fine.
Me: AA has helped a lot of people
AH: why don't you go become a counsellor for alcoholism. That's all you ever know how to talk about.
Me: but you asked me couple of days ago to help you.
AH: yeah you've studied dentistry You're a doctor . So you can help me.
Me: but I am not an addiction specialist or have anything to do with addiction help.
AH: I don't care . What good adoctor are you if you can't help your own husband.

In court, in connection with child support (and ex's nonpayment thereof - arrears now $30 000 and climbing):
Ex (brandishing statement of account from child support enforcement authority): This proves that I am paying exactly as I should and there is no need for these proceedings!
My lawyer: Your honor, he is misrepresenting the contents of that document.
Ex: I am not. You can see right here - the amount owing is zero. ZERO.
Judge: Let me see that ... Ex, that zero is in the "amount paid" column. It shows you have paid nothing. It does not show that you owe nothing.
Ex: ...
Judge: Mr Ex, you are wasting my time. You have to pay your child support.
Ex: Well, I'm GOING TO pay it. Right away. I've made all the arrangements. Of course I'm going to pay, I just said so.
Judge: I do not want to see you again. Costs to the plaintiff.

AHs debit card notifications come to my phone. Idk why. He was probably drunk when he set it up. Anyway today I got a notification from the liquor store and I texted and said “hey your debit card notifications are still coming to my phone.” His reply? “Just because I bought it doesn’t mean I’m going to drink it”
I never said anything about the charge
I did not reply to his text.
He was going to drink it, I knew it, he knew it, he knew I knew it.
And he did, in fact, drink it.

Xwife2 received a credit card bill in ex's name showing several hundred dollars in liquor store purchases in a city about two hours away. Ex's explanation was "someone stole my credit card and faked my signature. I was here all weekend, I've never been to [city]". Then X2 received a photo radar ticket for ex's vehicle from the same city on the same day the liquor purchases were made. Ex's explanation: "Someone else stole my car and drove it to [city] and then brought it back and abandoned it in [hometown] where I found it again. I forgot to mention that part".

I'm going with a small (yet somehow giant) quack. Keeping in mind that my AW was *just* in the hospital for over a month due a bad rehab, was on a ventilator, and nearly died . . . found wine in her car.
"What? I didn't do *anything* wrong."

He just said he quit drinking and smoking so I won't be mad at him anymore and it was PROBABLY negatively affecting his health. But he's not an alcoholic.
Does anyone else feel like I'm being baited? LOL

This is from one of my al anon groups. She relayed this conversation between her and her qualifier and I about died laughing.
Her: I think you should find yourself a bar girl. I think you'd be much happier with someone who drinks as much as you, who will race you to the bar and see who can get hammered faster, etc.
Him: NO WAY! I could never be with someone like that!
ummmmmmm?

Context: DS has been having migraines and was unable to go to his wilderness day camp. Lady who helps me with him is on vacation, so I ask recovering XAH for help (he does not work during the summer, only odd jobs, still won’t spend time with DS instead of expensive camps. Does not help with camp expenses)
XAH: I will help but I would miss out on money I would have made otherwise (I’ve bet he was not going to work)
Me (desperate since I must show up at work) - ok, how much money you would miss out on?
XAH: $60?
Me: Ok, I will give you that plus $40 for gas since it’s a far drive. Actually, just subtract it from child support.
He happily agreed.
Next day
XAH: “can you give me $20 for gas?”
Me:”Hmm I already “gave” you $100 by allowing to subtract that from child support”
XAH: “I never even ask you for money. Now I have to ask my mom”
A few hours later
“You know, if you ever feel like you cannot handle DS I can help”. For a small fee of $120 per day I suppose
Yikes he is such a whiny scheming mooching dude. Reminded me how he was shook my mom down for cash while she visited (I was absolutely livid when she told me she gave him money)

Not sure if this counts as a quack or just pathetic: Kid told me today that her father told her if you drink a lot of orange juice at the same time as you do drugs, you won't overdose. I said "I don't think that's actually scientifically true". Kid says "well, my dad says it works".
I think but do not say: your father hasn't been to work in nearly three years, has a frequent-flyer number in the local ERs, looks more and more like a rodeo clown with every passing day, doesn't really make sense anymore when he talks and is racking up heart attacks, seizures, 911 calls, DUIs and other life events - maybe he's not someone who should be giving advice on recreational substance use.
What I say instead: "If you're buying drugs from some random person, you have no idea what they're really selling you. Orange juice isn't going to help if you get something toxic. Take care of your brain!".
